"This game has so many standout moments of such immersive power, there really is no other experience out there to touch Modern Warfare 2’s controlled and entertaining pandemonium. Infinty Ward has skill, panache and big, hanging balls that clang as loud as Big Ben, so much so a the bar has been raised with Modern Warfare 2." ... Read full review

"Modern Warfare 2 ticks all of the right boxes: varied gameplay, immersive story, engaging gunplay, superb multiplayer, and the list goes on... If we're being really nitpicky, then we might suggest that there aren't many innovative features in the game. However, MW2's Spec Ops mode is fresh enough to ensure that the overall package isn't a stale one, while the long-term appeal of adversarial multiplayer will stretch out until the next Infinity Ward release with ease." ...

My Gamer
"The single player stages are much too linear, the co-op missions are reused from the single player campaign, and the main multiplayer deathmatch style modes are very unbalanced, especially for new players. But like Uncharted 2, MW2 is like an insane action packed movie that you can participate in… too bad the game’s heavy use of scripted events make the player feel like they have do not have any control regarding the out come of the final experience." ...

The single player is short but intense. I would rather have a good short single player with a robust multi-player. The MP aspect of the game The single player is short but intense. I would rather have a good short single player with a robust multi-player. The MP aspect of the game is absolutely mind blowing. It takes everything that was good about the first one and adds to it. I'm sure there are balancing issues that people will complain about but I haven't found any at this point. Spec ops is a ton of fun with a friend. Not too fun single player. This is easily a 10 just based on the value that I will get out of this. Anyone giving lower than an 8 is just a fanboy of Halo, KZ2, UC2, etc. This is a great game that will keep me playing for months and months.… Expand

The Call of Duty experience is well known for its linearity and inability to push the envelope on innovative game design. But what Modern The Call of Duty experience is well known for its linearity and inability to push the envelope on innovative game design. But what Modern Warfare 2 lacks in innovation it more then makes up for in polish. It is one of the most exciting games to come out in years and it is definitely a must-buy for people looking for a great shooter experience. The single-player game is short but very engaging, and it is backed up by one of the best online shooter experiences to date.… Expand

The Campaign is great, but short. Multiplayer is awesome, extremely addicting, but it has major flaws. Theres always people on cheating to The Campaign is great, but short. Multiplayer is awesome, extremely addicting, but it has major flaws. Theres always people on cheating to get the nuke, the 1887 shot gun is rediculous, and people running around like idiots with the commando perk knifiing people. A lot of the maps seem to favor people who like to post up and camp out. You will also be cut out or glitched out of a game about every 1 in 5. Other than that, the game is amazing.… Expand

Most overrated game of all time!!!!!! *Spoiler alert* The story is crap. They don't even explain that the soldiers you're killing Most overrated game of all time!!!!!! *Spoiler alert* The story is crap. They don't even explain that the soldiers you're killing at the end are part of a private army the General controls. I had to look that up on one of Infinity Wards formers where they explained it. The Airport scene where you go through and kill innocent people is almost completely pointless. This could have easily been shown in a cut scene. And if you don't do it the game completely skips over the end of that area which is the ground work for why all hell breaks loose. Plus, this scene of the game is suppose to have a lot of shock value to it. Making you hate the terrorists even more for what they've done. And then at the end you're not rewarded with going after the bad guy, not you go after this general to get revenge, because your team got set up for starting this war between Russia and the US. So, the terrorists go free at the end. Lame. The campaign only took me a little over 5 hours to complete the first time through and just under 4.5 the second. Thats sad. What the heck. What happened to making campaigns a complete experience? I was so pissed off at the end, because there I was thinking sweet, now we're going after the real bad guys. Nope, just ends. Infinity Ward was completely lazy about the campaign. I'm glad they didn't win Game of the year. They don't deserve it for this one. The only reason I didn't give this a lower score is because the online is great. It's literally the only reason to play this game. So if you aren't into multiplayer, do yourself a favor and skip this one. Not worth the full price. Wait for it drop down to 20-30 bucks. Then consider it.… Expand
